The recent trends in television entertainment may indeed be a swift 
ride straight to Hell, but I'm determined to make the most of it. ;-)  
Woot!  And thank GOD for Tivo! ;-)

As for Simon --- he's my favorite judge.  A real straight shooter.  I 
agree w/ him more often than not.  I get a bit annoyed when I feel that 
he's intentionally reaching for a disproportionate slam, but I don't 
really think he does that very often.

FWIW, the thing I find most interesting about American Idol is that 
it's an interesting experiment in electronic democracy and 
multiple-vote systems. :-)  I also take it as a bit of a challenge to 
try to swing the results w/ my autodialing campaign.  The underdog 
always gets my thousandish votes.  (NikkiDial!  Woot!  Hey, it worked 
last time:  we killed Tamyra --- who admittedly deserved much better 
--- and pushed Nikki into #3.)
